The View is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the second track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with an incredibly simple and pretty boring riff, Reed comes in with the vocal melody of the track which honestly just sounds like a mess to me. …

I got really excited about Jason Mraz one day after listening to his songs on youtube so I marched down to That CD Shop to purchase a Jason Mraz CD.
However when I got there I couldn’t find the one I wanted to buy, so I …

I purchased the Iida 5-String Banjo in 1974. This particular model is not for beginners but at the same time its not a high end instrument. I’ve used it for 35 years playing it for family, friends, and on stage professionally. The banjo features a heavy mahogany resonator, steel …

Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …

I like when singers perform they act accoustic because it’s shows to their fans about their real vocal quality. Like this one, Nobody’s home singing by Avril Lavigne. I don’t know where’s Avril Lavigne perform accousticly, I just hear it in bonus track in her second album, Under My …

My husband gave me this perfume as his present last Christmas. I have never tried this perfume before until he gave one to me. Its scent is not something that I will get addicted too (unlike the J’Adore which scent is very addictive, ahhhh!). Its alright, but …

Desolation Row, the final song to appear on Bob Dylan’s record Highway 61 Revisited is a track which I consider to be a perfect ending for one of the greatest records that I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to. As if you thought some of the other tracks …

I have a great CD to review, and that is of the rock band Queen’s album, Greatest Hits. I love Queen and consider the band to be one of the great classic rock bands of the past century. Freddie Mercury was a genius at writing songs and his vocals …

I have been listened to It’s Not Me It’s You by Lily Allen and this is what I have to say. I am sure not many people have heard of Lily Allen, but she did have some music made at least a few years back and for this latest …

I was unimpressed by this release to a rather high extent. I think that the band did not go anywhere with this album, and it sounds rather backward and also kind of boring. Many of the songs on this album are cheap and forgettable, very easy to see through. …

The Youth is the third track on MGMT’s second album, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT has frequently been called a neo-psychedelic band and I think that this track really demonstrates that, particularly the lyrics of the song.

The Black Keys, a blues rock duo out of Ohio, has been releasing records since the early 2000’s, but truly broke through to mainstream success with the release of 2010’s “Brothers.” A good friend of mine, who’s gotten me into countless bands, turned me onto the Keys years back, …

If you have been listening to top 40 radio, you have no doubt heard about Miley Cyrus! This is Billy Ray Cyrus’s daughter, who has made millions for the Walt Disney Company. I have to say, I kinda like her. The music isn’t overly pop filled with nonsense, it’s …
